Start
Sheriff: You have been through quite something. You saved a ranch from being sold, met a new friend, the nameless harmonica player and you met Calvin face to face.Now you are questioning your true self. You seem confused. You can't remember your childhood and this orphanage.You are searching for two men they call the left and the right hand of the devil? Yes, of course I have heard of them. They have their names because they are the fastest colts in the whole desert. These filthy outlaws are well on top of the list of the most wanted men. I do not know where the left hand is located. But the right hand - I caught him myself. He wanted to steal horses with his brother.You want to talk to him? He is sitting behind bars - not in a normal prison - he is in custody at Westchester, a prison for the most vile scoundrels of the prairie.
 Finish
The sheriff eyes you suspiciously. Cold sweat is running down your forehead. He then returns to sipping his drink.

Start
You find the right hand of the devil in Cell 9. He sits miserably on the cold stone floor. There is not even a proper bed in his cell.Right Hand:I am innocent, you have to believe m- No way. {PLAYER_NAME}? You've come here to visit me? It has been ages.What? You don't remember me? Calvin? Wait, there is a lot of stuff. I will explain everything once you got me out of here. This is no place to talk.I have planned my escape since I arrived here. It has 2 phases. Are you in to help me?
 Finish
The breakout plan went perfectly. Throwing the fake rattlesnake on the guards made them scream like little girls and run away. The coast is clear to use the nitric acid. You break the outlaw out of the cell in no time. You get a wriggle on and flee from the high security prison.

Start
Right hand: Okay, to get out of here we need to get rid of all these guards. There are dozens of them that watch me closely day and night.The guards are afraid of rattlesnakes, but it is way too dangerous to bring one here. I do not want anybody to die. You have to find a fake snake. That should be enough to scare the hell out of them. Get some snake skins and stuff them. Hmm, what is a good job to get the stuffing? You need to equip the base material and refine it by doing the right job.
 Finish
Right hand: Well done. This fake snake looks really life-like. The guards will freak out and run for their lives.

Right hand: I need to get out of this cell somehow. The keys are not kept in here; this is a high security prison.You will have to melt the bars somehow. They are made of metal, if you can get your hands on some nitric acid... Nitric acid is made of saltpetre and ammonia. Manure contains a fair amount of that stuff. Hmm, where is a good place to get manure? You need to equip the base material and refine it by doing the right job.
 Finish
Right hand: Good job. We will be able to corrode the bars of my cell in no time.

Start
Right hand: Thanks for getting me out of prison. It is all by brother's fault. I tried to cross his thievery plans again - all he has in mind is stealing horses. But it all went wrong, and instead of him, the sheriff arrested me. It has always been like that since we were kids, remember? So you have no clue what happened at the orphanage, right? All I know is that Calvin, you, Harmonica and my brother have been there a long time. I am too young to remember everything that happened. But my brother should be able to remember. I hope he does not want something in exchange for that. He is a greedy bum.First, we need to catch my brother. I know that he is magically drawn to a herd of unbranded horses - especially when the sun is setting and he can steal them undetected.
 Finish
As promised, the older brother shows up trying to steal the horses. On sight they instantly engage in an argument. They seem to be the complete opposite. While the right hand is virtuous, the left hand is ruthless. But they both seem to have a good heart.Right hand:I knew it. You mischievous bum. Why can't you just live according to the law for one second?Left hand:You troublemaking sissy. You always cross my plans. Can't you just be a good thief to make dad proud?

After some time the argument reaches the crux of the matter.Left hand:Listen: Our father is about to die. He gave me his last wish on his deathbed. He wants me to teach you how to become a real thief and follow in his footsteps. This is his last will and you will fulfill it. Here is the plan: We'll organize a rodeo festival. Don't worry about the horses, I have plenty stolen ones. This will attract a lot of people with money. I will disguise myself as a coachman and escort them from the station to the rodeo before noon. Then you will rob them. Easy. Nothing will go wrong and dad will be proud. But first, the rodeo.
 Finish
The younger brother asked you for help. Together, you managed to prepare the whole rodeo. Is the younger brother really up to robbing these people? He seems so righteous, but how can you refuse a father's dying wish? You glimpse a sparkle in his eyes.Left hand:Don't worry, I have a plan to teach my older brother a lesson.

Right hand:My father is about to die? Bah, this is the third time the old scoundrel has feigned a heart attack just to convince me to follow in his footsteps as the most ambitious thief.No way. We will teach my older brother a lesson. We will rob the stagecoaches. But we will not rob the poor people. This time, it will be my brother who is robbed. He will see how that feels.The stagecoach will arrive some time before noon. Be sure to disguise yourself. A black shawl and a black woolly hat will do the trick. Time for robbing some stagecoaches!
 Finish
At wait for the stagecoach at the agreed time. As you see it slowly approaching, you dart out of the bushes disguised as bandits and wielding your weapons.The younger brother jumps onto the driver's bench and points the gun at his older brother. He is so startled that he can't react. You empty the older brother's pockets and find... a sheriff's star?Right hand:What the -? Where did you get this star from?The older brother confesses about a missionary he planned to rob. He stole the star from the local sheriff. You interrupted his plan with the unbranded horses.Rich missionaries? That is weird. Usually they only do community work. Can there be a new trail at this missionary? You and the brothers agree to have a look there.

And two federal agents, too!It is well overdue. We need help here! There are so many goods to deliver that we need a helping hand to transport them. Missionaries are very busy and hardworking people, so I am sure you do not mind.
 Finish
You help the missionaries deliver the goods. Your back aches terribly because you had to do all the work alone. The younger brother spent his time flirting with young missionary girls. Thanks a lot.These goods must have earned them a fortune. You wonder what they do with all their money.

Start
Left hand:We have to find out some clues about what is going on here. Where does all their money go? The missionaries will not give me any information. They seem scared. Lets snoop around their trading routes a bit playing sheriff. We'll check the travelling merchants in the area. The sheriff star will get us some information. Getting some information out of the travelling merchants will take some time. Do not worry if you don't succeed on the first try.
 Finish
You prowl around the area checking the trade merchants the missionaries are doing business with. Trading missionaries making money is strange enough. But what happened to you now is even stranger.Strange Man:Psst ! You, over there. You! You are these federal agents, right? Here, take this, keep your eyes shut and get away. And whatever you do, stay away from that barn!As you open the envelope you see that there is some money in it. A bribe? Did this man mistake you for a real federal agent? The barn... Hmmm....

Right hand:That was strange... a man giving us money because we pretended to be federal agents. He tried to bribe the law... There has to be more behind that.He told us not to go to that barn. We should spy on it. They keep it shut all day. Maybe we can find out something if we disguise ourselves as missionaries and sneak into the barn at night. They all wear pilgrim head garments. This should be ok. Can't see the next quest? Read the text closely to find the time and equipment you need.
 Finish
You tell the left and the right hands everything you know about Calvin. The right hand has a crush on one of the girls there. The left hand is mad that Calvin got away with the money he planned to steal. They both agree to help the people in the mission out of different motives.The left hand promises to tell you all he knows once you manage to get the money back and give him a share.

He said he will send out his outlaws and take our land if we do not pay him a large amount of protection money every month.Why do we not defend ourselves? We are not allowed to stand up to him. Missionaries are sworn to live a peaceful life in accordance with the bible. No fighting.There must be some way to help the people at the mission. You have to prove that it is okay to fight. Maybe you can find a painting somewhere that portrays a biblical fight scene? Hmm, where do you get paintings from? It will take some time until you find a suitable picture.
 Finish
Perfect. You show the missionaries a painting that inspires them to take up arms.Left hand:These people have never held a weapon in their hands. Are you sure we can teach them how to fight?

Anyhow, we should get them some gear, but I do not think they can handle a gun or something like a tomahawk. Maybe you can find something suitable? You can get these items from town shops or the market.
 Finish
The people of the mission can handle these weapons better than a proper weapon. Well, if you are willing to use a word like "better" in this context.

We should be able to teach the missionaries how to fight.After some practice the left hand decides to pose a final challenge to the missionaries.Left hand: They are ready for a challenge. I saw some wild pumas in the area. I used to wrestle pumas from time to time to practice my skills. That should do it.
 Finish
The idea of picking real pumas was not the best one. The missionaries look pretty bruised, but at least they have learned the basics of combat. With a bit luck they can defeat Calvin's henchmen.

 Finish
Left hand: What is that??? Ponies??? Well, screw it. I'll tell you what happened in that orphanage. We all were there. You, me, my brother and Calvin. Children around us were picked up. But not us.One day, a shady man came and wanted to adopt a child to recruit him. This man was nobody other than Wesley Hardin, the deadliest gunslinger of all time. It was said that he has killed 42 people. We all were scared.He never had a son so he wanted to train somebody to be as vile as him.You know... we never did get along well with Calvin. He was a misfit. Renly kept annoying him with his scary harmonica playing. It always ended up with Calvin crying, he was a real whiner. This is why he freaked out when he heard that song at Saltwater.So the day Mr Hardin wanted to pick us up came. We hid in our secret treehouse and left poor Calvin. He was picked up instead of us by the shady man.Somehow it is our fault that he is what he is today. We could have saved him.What a story. You now remember. It was really mean of you. But children are cruel. You should go to the sheriff with your accusations against Calvin.
